Chapter 35: Martial Arts Conference
"How can this be reasonable, Huangfu and Beichen Qu deceive people too much!" Zhou Wenjun slammed the table angrily and scolded, the wine cup was poured, and the wine in the cup spilled. Song Bingzhu didn't speak, just picked up the tablecloth and put it away, his face a little solemn.
"It's just strange, why didn't the emperor take action a few days ago, and didn't take it out until today?" Huangfu Yinri was quite puzzled, his uncle had 800 hearts, and he only learned about this today. It's no wonder that in order to open the way for his son, he naturally regards himself as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and has always guarded against him, and even the marriage with Ah Yue was won by himself.
"It's not surprising that the Song family can stand for so many years, naturally it is not easy to bully; Second, if the Song family falls again, there will be Beichen and Huangfu left to fight in the ring, Beichen Qu is easy to fool, but Beichenlin is not, at that time, the snipe and the clam will fight, and the court will be able to win the martial arts in one fell swoop, this situation everyone does not want to see, so in the case that no one can dominate to easily bring down the two, no one will rashly shoot. Liang Jian said helplessly. In the past few days, he has not only practiced martial arts diligently, but also figured out the situation of the rivers and lakes and the imperial court through a lot of information and intelligence, so he knows the current situation in martial arts.
"Yes, that's what I thought." Song Bingzhu was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, he sighed and said, "Now all the families are holding their breath to see who can easily take down the other two families under the situation that the imperial court is eyeing them." ”
"Why take it?" Yan Shi played with the fan and said casually, "I think there is a way to save effort." ”
"Your method is really labor-saving and can avoid the battle between the rivers and lakes, and the situation of one family is dominant." Liang Jian nodded in agreement, this is the most reasonable and feasible method at present, and she has not thought about doing this, but it is a little difficult to practice.
"What? Don't sell it! Zhou Wenjun is a little anxious, she hates being hung by people the most!
"They mean that they let others be the heads of their families." Beichen Yue sighed, if this is the case, then she is always not at ease when the Beichen family is handed over to her brother, Beichen Min has a plan and a little cleverness, but if he wants to be the head of the family, it is still far from enough, first of all, he can't fight his scheming uncle Beichenlin.
"The Huangfu family can let the Huangfu Yinri come, and the Song family will be the old Song." Zhou Wenjun slapped the table excitedly, Huangfu Yinri and Song Bingzhu were both trustworthy, "The Beichen family will let A Min come." ”
"Beichen Min, ......" Yan Shi paused here when he said this, pondering undeniably, this arrangement is still to be discussed.
"It's a good plan, but now we have more important things." Song Bingzhu had a headache on his forehead, thinking about the days after Beichen Yuan became the deputy leader of the alliance, the Song family was only bullied by the Huangfu family and the Beichen family.
"Let Beichen Yuan become the deputy alliance leader?" Liang Jian groaned, and then smiled, as if full of deep meaning, "It's not impossible." ”
"Jian, do you know what you're talking about?" Zhou Wenjun said with some surprise, "Beichen Yuan? People from the Beichen family?! ”
"If Beichen Yuan is allowed to become the deputy alliance leader, then our Song family will be embattled." Song Bingzhu said a little unhappily, thinking that Liang Jian was helping outsiders to speak, and it was not that they had never heard of the pull between Liang Jian and Beichen Yuan before, but since Lao Yan recognized the person, they naturally had no objections. But now that she is actually helping Beichenyuan speak, isn't she biased towards Beichenyuan again? !
"Listen to her." Yan Shi frowned and looked at Song Bingzhu, they were all the heads of the family, and they were still a little reckless.
"Master of the Song family, I know that you are anxious about the Song family now, but don't worry." "The most effective way to break a man is to let him fall into the mire at the top." ”
"Eh, Ajan, we really have a good idea!" Yan Shi looked at Liang Jian, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"That's right, at this time, we can't do anything to change, if we rashly attack Beichen Yuan, it will arouse the suspicion of Beichen and the Huangfu family. If the court knows, I am afraid that we will all be implicated, and the Song family will bear the brunt. Huangfu Yinri turned his back to look out the window and sighed deeply.
"Why ?!!" Zhou Wenjun said unconvinced, "The idea came from the Beichen family and the Huangfu family, why was the Song family the first to be affected?!" ”
"The Beichen family now has General Fuguang behind them, and the Huangfu family controls river transportation and shipping, which is related to the country's economic lifeline, and these two families can't easily move. And the Song family has a handle in the hands of the Huangfu family, if the matter is revealed, the two families will only push the Song family as a scapegoat, and the emperor is more willing to use the Song family, which has no threat, to make an example. Beichenyue analyzed very calmly.
"So it's up to them to do whatever they want now?" Zhou Wenjun said unwillingly.
"Yes, now it will be up to them to die in front of King Rui." Song Bingzhu seemed to have thought of something, and said with a relaxed smile, "But we can't be idle, when the enemy gets carried away, it is the beginning of their own grave." ”
--------------------------------
It was already early autumn, and the weather was not so hot, which was a suitable time for all sects and families to gather and compete. The martial arts conference was scheduled at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and the three families had already arranged the ring, which was made of copper and stone, and it looked very magnificent.
A high platform was set up in front of the ring, with Rui Wang Lin Zhaojing on the left, Beichen Yuan and Yun Rou County Lord on the right, and the two sides were almost equal, but everyone always seemed to prefer Beichen Yuan. This is also easy to understand, even if Beichen Yuan does not have that qualification and strength, everyone is still more willing to praise him, not only because he has the two major forces of the Huangfu family and the Beichen family behind him, but also because compared to the court sent by King Rui, Beichen Yuan is still a martial arts person. In comparison, Beichen Yuan can be regarded as his own person. Everyone was worried all day long by the oppression and power of the Xie family, and the martial arts also became a miasma, and now they naturally hope that King Rui will not be the second Xie family.
In fact, Huangfu and Beichen originally wanted him to retreat.
A month ago, King Rui came with a holy decree and found that Beichen Yuan had become the deputy leader of the alliance under the support of many people. Although the other sects in the martial arts did not speak and did not dare to come forward, they all acquiesced to this approach, and for a while there was a faint feeling of bullying more and less. The entire martial arts is united, like a steel plate, which cannot be torn or broken, and this momentum alone makes people retreat.
Among the crowd, although he seemed to have some surprises, he did not retreat at all, but he preemptively said very imposingly, "Mr. Beichen Yuan has become the deputy alliance leader, but this king has a holy purpose, and it is not easy to disobey, so there will be two deputy alliance leaders." ’
Huang Fu Shi thought that such a milk doll who had never seen the world would be at a loss, but what he said made him a little difficult to refute. Even if it is used as an excuse that there are no precedents of two deputy alliance leaders in the martial arts, in the end, it is not able to defeat the person who is the emperor opposite, even if he knows that this King Rui does not have the slightest power in the court, but the emperor's holy will is in hand, and the people in the rivers and lakes dare to disobey, so they have to accept it.
The families of the various sects in the martial arts have long been managed enough by the Xie family, and at this moment, there is another Rui Wang who does not know the origin, and he is naturally very resistant, so in the past month, everyone has not said anything openly, and secretly he is still more convinced Beichen Yuan, after all, he is also a person in the martial arts sect. Regarding the matter of the martial arts conference, King Rui did not interfere too much, nor did he have the opportunity to interfere.
The two families looked at the magnificent venue layout of today's martial arts conference, and they didn't know how beautiful their faces were, and they naturally became even more proud when they looked at King Rui, who was silent on the side.
"Eh, I heard that he has been practicing what 'On the Martial Arts' this month, is there no recruitment?" Beichen Qu gloated a little and pushed the Huangfu on the side, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he continued to mutter, "What?!" It's just to let those little sects and little people get together and talk about kung fu, but what can this group of ants discuss?! ”
"Hmm." The emperor replied perfunctorily, contemplating to himself. The small sect is naturally not to be afraid, but the small sect and rangers in the entire rivers and lakes add up, so you have to be cautious.
Although there are now three major families, to be precise, the two major families are autocratic, but in terms of numbers, they are naturally inferior to these small sects. Although they have monopolized the resources and connections of martial arts over the years, the major families have been fighting with each other over the years, and naturally they have not taken these ants in their eyes and paid not enough attention to them. After King Rui talked about the martial arts, he went to check the news, only to find out that there were so many ants. Originally, it wasn't that serious, but now that King Rui intervened. He is a prince, even if he has no real power, if he wants to learn martial arts resources or something, it is simple, if he allows the development of this martial arts arena, I am afraid it will become a disaster.
"What is Brother Huangfu thinking? Isn't it afraid of that yellow-haired boy, what big things can he do at a young age, it's just a whim, three points of heat. Beichenqu snorted disdainfully, "Child, they all think they can do something great like this, but they give up when they encounter a little setback." ”
"Perhaps." Huangfu looked at Lin Zhaojing, who was sitting upright, and there was a faint fear in his heart, there was an aura on him, an aura that was not suitable for his age.
Lin Zhaojing on the other end sat in her position, casually looking at the surrounding layout, whether it was luxurious or not, she just smiled silently. Jizi sighed, he seemed to have foreseen the decline of these sects.
The flags of various families and sects fluttered, so it was not spectacular, and the tables were slapped on the stands and set up shelters, which were in good order. The jade table brocade shed, sandalwood chairs, rare and exotic fruits, I don't know and think I came to enjoy. When the competition loses its original intention, the so-called martial arts conference becomes a gimmick for each family to show off.
There were only a few rangers and some small sects in the whole field crowded into the corner of the public shed, which was quite shabby. Only the sects with slightly better conditions will rent a place to set up poles and flags, arrange and build sheds, just like two worlds.
The hour was approaching, and a very thick incense burner weighing dozens of catties in front of the ring was lit, and the curling green smoke slowly drifted into the distance. The incense had burned to the red line. Knock knock, the drummer next to the ring beat the drum again and again, and the drum face shook and made a low sound. The drum sounded three times, and the competition officially began.
A group of people on the stage were fighting, axes, hooks and forks, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and the sound of various weapons crashing was deafening. The martial arts conference is divided into three levels, first of all, the various families and sects and some Jianghu knights are fighting in the hundred-foot ring, adding up to a hundred and ten people. Regardless of the means, regardless of life or death. After fierce competition, the last ten people who can stand in the ring can enter the next round of competition. In the ring, there was a scuffle, everyone in the competition was signed a life and death certificate, if they unfortunately died, no one would say anything.
It's just that in the end, those who died came out of the small sect, or they were the Jianghu rangers. First, there are no good resources for martial arts, most of them are invincible by force, and they can't beat them in the end, if they admit defeat and feel ashamed, they have to exhaust their last vitality on the stage.
Second, no one in the disciples of the big family's sect dares to really do it, if they are killed, no one will say anything on the surface, but it is not necessarily behind the scenes, at least they will be targeted by that family, and at worst they will be destroyed. So in the end, there were more than ten people standing in the ring, most of them were the Beichen family, the Huangfu family and the Song family, as well as Hengtianzong, Ji Limen, and a little-known Jianghu ranger Baihe.
That ranger is not outstanding, the people on the stage have been observing for a long time, he is just a little lighter, dodging vigorously, and he doesn't seem to have the strength to fight back, just relying on his light skills to be better. Therefore, he didn't take the two of them to heart, and he could eliminate them in the second round of the competition, so he didn't pay too much attention to the two of them.
The ranger was masked and was busy helping down a few dying disciples on the stage to treat Shi Zhaozhao. Shi Zhaozhao's side was even more busy with his feet not touching the ground, the silver needles in his hands were all dancing with afterimages, and the doctors and servants around him were also very busy, and the doctors of the small sect could only treat some minor injuries and fight them. And those big family sects on the stage turned a blind eye, they did bring doctors, but why treat those useless wastes? The doctors of those families are also idle, and every time they come to the martial arts competition, they just follow to play or go through the motions, after all, the children of the big families generally don't suffer anything very serious to the point of injury.
Only the healers brought by the Song family went over to take a look. On the day of Huangfu Yin, Beichen Yue and Beichen Min could only secretly order a few of their right-hand men to send the medicinal materials over, if the action was too obvious, I was afraid that it would attract the suspicion of the head of the family.
"Hey, this contest is a bit more miserable." Zhou Wenjun sat next to Song Bingzhu, watching several disciples covered in blood curl up and squirm on the stage, and couldn't bear it, "It's just a martial arts competition, why is it so bloody, wouldn't it be good to have a discussion until the point is reached, why do you need to sign a life and death certificate?" ”
"Don't worry, today Lao Yan also invited Shi Zhaozhao, her medical skills are the most brilliant." Song Bingzhu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the disciples who were wailing underground, "The Song family proposed to abolish the life and death certificate many years ago, but only a few people agreed. ”
Even though the Song family is one of the three major families, it has been out of touch with the entire martial arts since it refused to participate in the siege of the Shentu family, and until now it has only been suppressed, even if it has the right to speak, it is not much, Huangfu and Beichen Mansion have teamed up, and the Song family is naturally unwilling to join forces.
"Why? Wouldn't it be nice to have fewer casualties? Zhou Wenjun frowned, he really didn't understand what this group of people in the martial arts were thinking, wasn't the original intention of the martial arts competition to learn martial arts, to exchange and learn martial arts, to make it look like a boxing game in the black market, there was no shadow of the rivers and lakes, only killing and endless anger.
"At the beginning of the establishment of martial arts, it was like this, but later after the rise of various family sects, in order to monopolize resources and excellent disciples, the first to come first began to suppress the later generations. The latter are not far behind, but they don't have any resources, so they can only think of coming to the martial arts conference to recruit some disciples and ask those big families for some resources. Song Bingzhu looked coldly at Beichen Qu and Huangfu She, who were quite proud on the stage, and said, "But where can they be so kind, setting up a life and death situation just to fight and kill the still excellent disciples in the small sect and prevent that sect from threatening their status." ”
"This martial arts is really a miasma." Song Wenjun said in disgust, looking at the group of righteous gentlemen on the surface, but in fact, they were ugly inside.
"Indeed, someone needs to stir up this dark backwater." Song Bingzhu looked at the masked ranger in the audience, and his face was full of appreciation.
"Hmm." Zhou Wenjun said undeniably, looking at the two masked knights in his direction, he always felt a little familiar.
The first round came to an end, and the families packed up their things to prepare for a rest and fight again the next day. There are three rounds of martial arts competitions, one round per day, for a total of three days. The second round is to fight against the deputy alliance leader.
"You're really rich, you have your property here." Liang Jian was so tired that he sat down on the pear blossom wood armchair, looked at the expensive decoration around him and sighed, "I'm curious where there is no Fu'an Inn." "This inn is about to open a national interlock for him, and he can drive wherever he goes, and his mother no longer has to worry about me sleeping on the streets.
"It's everywhere, if something happens in the future, as long as you see the Fu'an Inn, you can go in." As he spoke, he walked over and opened the window to breathe, smelling the fragrance of magnolia flowers outside the window, which was refreshing, and he smiled and continued, "But you can rest assured." ”
"Rest assured what?" Liang Jian said lazily, "You don't have to charge money, do you?" "If you want to collect money, then she can't afford to live, and she can't afford to rent a night if she sells her.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled, turned his head and said, "It's nothing, take a good rest, tomorrow will be another fierce battle, and tomorrow it will be the deputy alliance leader and the remaining nine people who will fight." ”
"You still have to fight against the deputy alliance leader?!" Liang Jian asked distressedly while removing the veil from her face, this veil is really not breathable, she is about to suffocate, especially since she has to deal with so many people today, she has some difficulty breathing.
